Congrats to you and your hard work ! You look fantastic !

You are doing great. I'm just recently back. Day 3. I hurt everywhere but I know it's because I'm doing it right ! Like you had an addiction to diet pepsi..... I stopped as well. So far so good. I,m back to being careful about what I eat. The beiginning is always rough. Thank you for the reminder that by sticking with it…

Wowza ! You rock ! Your hard work really paid off !

Good for you ! You look fabulous !

The 30 DS is awesome ! It shapes your body in all the right places. Jillian's workouts are effective and don't require as much time as "phoning in at the gym" . ...I did the 30DS amongst others and lost 50 lbs and inches. I went from a size 13 to a size 5....My husband last year lost 10lbs doing it for 30 days with me.…

Awesome. I was wondering the same myself. I started for the first time tonight. I really like Phase 1 cd 1. It fast, upbeat and you don't have enough time to get sick of the exercises but just long enough to feel the burn!

@tomwatson : Dapper !

SlimFast.... not very good. Tastes terrible....and I was always hungry. I would rather count my calories and eat less than drink that stuff. You`ll definitely lose weight, but as soon as you start eating again, you'll most likely gain it back.

I love food....all types...healthy , fast food.... you name it, I love it. I was successful losing weight because I didn`t give up the foods I love.... I eat 1200 calories a day....made of of good choices.... and I exercise to earn my treats... I like to finish off my day with a counted bowl of chips or popcorn and a nice…

*LIKE*

What a difference already ! Looking great ! Keep up you hard work..... :)

My deal breakers are as follows: Slackers - I work hard and expect the same from my partner..... Moochers - I work hard to support myself and my family.... if you want to mooch....go elsewhere.... very unflattering characteristic. Vain- constantly looking in the mirror and flexing.... I like good looking men.... but looks…

I lost 50lbs over 1.5 years. I still have my last 10lbs and some major toning to do to reach my utltimate goal. I know I am going to need to work my butt off. My body is clinging to this weight. I look good and feel good, but I want to be great ! Why is it so hard to lose 10lbs? I am starting my own personal 60 day…

Some people are A***holes and should mind their own goddamn business and worry about themselves. I hate it when other people put others down to bring themselves up. I am really sorry you had to go through that!

Absolutely awesome! I agree that consistency is key. MFP was definitely a big part of it for me in my journey!

@jensan37- 25 ?

I am having the same issue right now. Night time is the worst. I can go all day, eat the right amount of calories and make good choices.... but night time rolls around and I just can`t help myself....out comes the chips and chocolate. During my 50lb weight loss I still ate those food....but mesured them out.... I think I…

Rhianna....can`t stand her music or her video clips. Plus a really bad example for young girls and women everywhere.

Never give up ! Just do it !!!

Hi ! I am 5 foot 2 1/2 inches. Before I had children, my lowest weight was 125lbs size 5. After having 2 children my highest was 200 lbs for my little frame. I joined MFP and started eating right and exercising. This was 17 lbs into my weight loss....approx : 167lbs This summer: 132.6 lbs size 5 Before After Hard work and…

anchovies on tomatoes....

Wasn't sure if I was going to like protein shakes....so I went in my husband's stash of Whey Protein...he had bought chocolate... not the tastiest stuff I have ever tried...so after several tries I found a way I enjoy it... 1 scoop of chocolate protein (120 cals) 1 cup of coffee cooled (0 cals) 1/4 cup 2% milk (30 cals) 1…

Just don't. Just step away from the leftovers! I give the kids smaller portions. If they ask for more they get some. Whatever is not eaten is frozen for a meal at a later date....no waste....no extra calories and saving time making dinner at a later date.

Thanks for the information. I will check out the website. With the classes I am taking, plus bought a treadmill for my cardio....so if I could do strenght training at home as well then I`'m all set !

I would like to go to the gym but that isn't feasible. I usually exercise from home. Can't lifting be done at home? If so, what kind of weights do I need? So far the only 'weight training' I have done is Jillian Michaels 30 day shred with 2 lb weights....lol.... I now own 5 lb weights. Is there any at home programs?

I am walking 5 days a week for 30-40 mins ....for fresh air....mid-day energy and overall health (lunch hour instead of going to a restaurant or just sitting around) , 3 x 1hr cardio sessions a week(2xTae-Bo 1 x karate), and 3 days of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution that has a combo of weights/squats, cardio and abs....…

FYI- I was never really good at having breakfast , so the protein shake I have in the morning is better than the almost nothing I was having and it has been giving me the extra energy I need. Just to clarify, for snacks, I eat fruit, vegetables yogurts, cheese and nuts.... I try to balance my food.... I eat 2 good healthy…

I am a mother of two. I gained 60lbs with my first pregnancy. I ate good and bad stuff. I ate when I wasn`t even hungry. I just had cravings all the time....so I get it..... but it was my choice, my fault. I learned from my first pregancy and was way more careful the second time around and only gained 30lbs. We make our…
